I took my dog for a walk to day at the local high school. As I was getting out of the car, (with my dog that had a harness and leash on) one of the coaches I am presuming pulled up and asked "Your not taking that dog on the track are you?" Because I did not want to start and argument, I politely said, "Guess not." And left.
I was under the assumption that you are allowed to walk dogs on all public property unless there were signs that posted otherwise.

What is with the interest in "Designer Dogs"?

I am one of those people who think a shelter hound is as good of a pet as any of the wonderful pure-breeds out there. I feel that our society should take care of the animals we already have before we bring more into the world. I tend to advocate adopting shelter animals over buying from pet stores. And to further grow my confusion, we now have "designer dogs" showing up in the arms of celebrities and their fans alike.

Please tell me WHY one would choose an animal as a fashion accessory or because it is the latest trend? What does one do with the "designer dog" when he doesn't match one's new wardrobe or is now so-yesterday?

What is the intent of breeding a "designer dog" other than to fill a niche in the pet market?

thanks for your time!!

Is this a good reason to "get rid" of your dog?

I was browsing on ebay and saw a cute Coach collar for sale...then I read the ad and was thoroughly disgusted with the person selling it:

Add said:

This auction is for a Pink studded collar made by Coach. My wife bought this for her dog then got rid of the dog because we got a new house with wood floors and the dog kept scratching the floors. This collar is new and never worn since the dog never grew into it. So her loss is your gain. thanks for looking and good luck bidding. any questions please ask.

YUCK!!! I have hardwoods that are all scratched up from my lovely pooches...so what! I can't believe some of the reasons people rehome their dogs.

What is the worst reason/excuse you've heard for someone rehoming their dog?
Yes...well KC...dogs and other pets are not disposable. When you get a pet you are making a commitment to that animal for it's life. It is NEVER okay to rehome it because you've decide it doesn't suit your lifestyle anymore. You should have thought of that before you ever got a pet!
Cat: I absolutely wouldn't buy it...you are so right that it's tainted! :D
YES! Love! That's the one! Ick!!!

Yes you are all right that the dog is better off with a loving family, but for all we know they could have taken it to a shelter and it may have been euthanized.

My parents have brand new gorgeous wood floors and they are anti dog scratches...so when we go visit we bring little booties for our dogs. It doesn't hurt the dogs and it keeps the floor safe from their claws. If you have a hear there are other options than rehoming. That's all I'm saying!
I meant if you have a heart...oops spelling :D

Where did the question about designer dogs go?

There was a question yesterday about designer dogs....ummm......where did it go? Did the poster take it off? Or did someone get offended by a little controversy? It seems like any question that has a good debate or some good controversy gets taken off. I don't get it.

What purpose are designer dogs bred for?

I just heard an argument from a DD lover.

"Breeds didn't just appear. They were bred over hundreds of years to be what they are today. They were all mutts once, but they were bred for a purpose. Its the same way with Designer dogs. Just because they aren't a breed you accept doesn't make them mutts."

She basically said that designer dogs were created for a purpose. Do any designer breeders out there do it for anything OTHER than money? If so, I'm waiting. What purpose do you have?

Designer dogs…?

Many people either are unaware that designer dogs are mutts, or beleive that they were entirely created by inferior specimens of the breed. Is it not possible to have an accident? Is it not possible to have less-than ethical people showing their PBs that may createa mixed breed from them? Everyone loves the sound of money.

I don't beleive in intentional mutts, but I don't beleive in everything going exactly as planned. A man in the show-world came through my work one day, said he'd payed the stud service for his (can't remember) to breed only to have his male pug tie with her upon coming home.

Does anyone agree with me that not ALL designer dogs are from inferior specimines? Granted, worth 2k, no. But things are only worth what's willing to be paid, so why not charge that?
I see no reason to kill all accidents. Unless their's something wrong with the pups in question, why not let them the chance to live? As much as I understand that breeding can be heartwrnching, I do not beleive that it should be heartless.
Sniffydog- When I was talking about killing pups it was in response to the first answer, which said to shoot or cull (kill) all the non PB pups in a litter borne of two fathers. Just so that we're clear.

I want to buy a dog collar that could stop my dog from barking. There are these dog collars on eBay that are supposed to stop dogs from barking with some sound that only dogs could hear. If you have any experience with these collars and know if they work or not them please reply.
